Clothing relating disasters also have the power to send us frothing with rage. Understandably, one third of us find splashing and potentially staining a favourite top or pair of jeans to be a great annoyance.

Meanwhile, over one quarter feel sorely inconvenienced when they realise the outfit they had just put on is either dirty or crumpled. Although, I must say it’s always worse when you don’t notice the lurking coffee stain until you are already at the party.

Director of Sky Mobile, Sophia Ahmad, said:

So many of these modern-day frustrations stem from a feeling of a lack of control.

Late buses, distracted people and phones which run out of data just at that inopportune moment, are all things we wish we could get into line and make work for us, but sometimes life isn’t that way.

Sky Mobile is here to help customers with one of these gripes, by offering more control over their data usage with Roll.

Any unused data is automatically rolled over into your Sky Piggybank every month and saved for up to three years, ready to be used whenever it’s needed – like when you’re killing time waiting for that delayed train.

Such inconveniences are said to strike Brits more than 15 times a week – wasting around two hours of our time – and we don’t always handle them too well.

Among those polled, 44 per cent revealed they had a ‘short fuse’, with four in 10 having snapped at somebody without good reason and one fifth expresing regret over calls or texts sent in the heat of the moment,

However, a lot of Brits realise most things which get them riled up are usually pretty trivial and ‘not worth getting angry over’.
